[In all honesty, getting used to his magitek jewelry has been one of the easier adjustments, something that fits into his schema of the world as he’d known it before this strange sideways stumble into an entirely different place. It’s just a form of magic he hasn't seen before, right? Like cursed jewelry back home, something belonging to some little-known tribe. What’s been harder is realising he's the only one from his world here, that he'd left at such an uncertain moment only to find himself among complete strangers in every sense of the word. There doesn't seem to be another Deimos among them.

It doesn't help that so many of you look so damned human.

Once again, his isolation weighs heavy on him, though in a different way than it had in his own world. The fact that he can't verbally communicate with anyone here only makes it worse, more intense. Perhaps one way of lessening the impact is to reach out to the rest of the 'team' via the jewelry, find out how many others there are who occupy a similar position to his own, if any at all.]


Well this is fun, eh? A bunch of people thrown together in a situation where we can't even talk to each other, and yet somehow we're supposed to be working as a team. What a worthless place this is shaping up to be.

Well, I have some questions for you, and if this is the only way to be understood then so be it. How many of you are the only ones from your world? More importantly, how many of you are something other than human? If I have to be stuck here then I wanna know that it's not just gonna be me amid a sea of overgrown monkeys.


[Because despite how rude he sounds, he doesn’t want to go through this this again. To be the only one who stands out as so obviously different on top of everything else. It's only just started to really sink in that he may be stuck here for a while.]

- Uh...

[That's the only sound that comes out of the feed once it switches on; gold eyes blinking owlishly at the screen for a moment as Lapis realizes that yep, it's recording. Slowly opening her mouth to speak once more, before... something off-screen catches her attention. Prompting her to nod, before she turns her eyes back to the screen to focus on texting instead.]

so i guess this is the only way everyone can understand me, so i'll stick with this.

i know we have to deal with those bug things right now, but i've never really lived with.. other people before. besides my family, anyway. so there's something i want to get out of the way, since i know not everyone likes this kinda thing.

i have a ghost with me.
[At least she's straight to the point.] most people can't see him but he's there.

[A pause, before she shifts underneath her to grab some of the sheets of her new bed that she's been sitting on - throwing them behind her. Which then land and drape over the invisible figure that was floating behind her, who puts his hands on his hips in a 'are you serious' manner - his new cloak allowing others to see the movement.]

i just figured it would be easier to let people know this way, rather than explaining it whenever i ask him to do something. also no, he won't haunt anyone or anything like that.

[This is clearly the best way to introduce herself, A+ Lapis.]

[ on-screen: ( 1 ) gwen stacy, a completely normal college student, wide-eyed, frowning. this is serious. a tragedy in motion. ]

I know we're all busy what with smashing bugs, do they even still count as bugs when you can spike them like a football? [ gwen stacy, asking the tough questions, ] but I have an emergency. See this? [ she holds up a cell phone in front of her face. the background reads "THE MARY JANES." the eagle-eyed will note the battery symbol in the corner: warning red. ]

This is my life. Not only is it my life, it's sitting at less than 10% charge so if I don’t get a charger for it pronto, I will literally die.

[ """""""literally.""""""" ]

Somebody has to have one. Help me, Samsung-Juan, whoever you are. You're my only hope.

[ other people have questions starting with "how" and "why" and "what the actual f—" gwen stacy, however, has #priorities. ]
